Points for rides of 50-99 km so far this year: 22***.
Points for rides of 100+ km so far this year (listed in metric century a month challenge): 68***.
Points target for year: 100+
Total points for year so far (up to & incl. 14th October ride): 90***.

NB I have decided to count points for ALL rides of 50+ km that I do this year here, including those rides of 100+ km that I post in the metric century a month challenge instead of here. (*** I had made a huge error in adding up my points. Next year's target will be whatever I manage by the end of this year, plus 5.)
